Homework Answers
Ans : c. Fair, Loss
A self constructed asset cannot be recorded with a value more than its fair value.
For instance, if an asset is constructed and costs amounted to $ 50,000 but the same is available from market at $ 45,000 then the self constructed asset would be recorded at fair value and the remaining $ 5,000 should be considered as loss.
